Abstract

This study investigates the potential of ChatGPT, an Artificial Intelligence (AI), to transform teacher competence and lesson design in a junior high school setting in Lhokseumawe, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was employed with 25 junior high school teachers from Ihyaaussunnah, Lhokseumawe, Aceh. These teachers were asked to utilize ChatGPT for various pedagogical tasks, including lesson planning, assessment design, and content creation. Pre- and post-test questionnaires assessed changes in teacher competence, while a rubric was used to evaluate the quality of lesson modules designed with ChatGPT. Results revealed significant improvements in all measured aspects of teacher competence, including pedagogical knowledge, technological proficiency, and confidence in using ChatGPT for instructional purposes. Lesson modules created with ChatGPT were rated highly across all evaluation criteria, indicating their effectiveness and alignment with modern pedagogical approaches. Qualitative feedback from teachers highlighted the time-saving benefits of ChatGPT, its ability to enhance creativity and personalize learning experiences, and its potential to spark new pedagogical approaches. However, some teachers reported initial challenges in formulating effective prompts and emphasized the need for ongoing support and training. This study provides valuable insights into the potential of ChatGPT to empower teachers and improve instructional design. However, the small sample size and context-specific nature of the findings limit generalizability. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impact of ChatGPT on teacher competence and student learning outcomes in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of environmental themes into English language teaching in Malaysia and Indonesia, focusing on current practices and associated challenges. Its primary objectives are to identify existing methods and assess strategies for effective integration. Based on a comprehensive literature review, the study highlights methods like Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), project-based learning, multimedia resources, and communicative activities. CLIL enhances language skills and environmental awareness by merging content with instruction, while project-based learning engages students in real-world environmental issues. Multimedia and authentic materials make lessons more engaging, and communicative activities encourage interactive discussions on environmental topics. However, several challenges hinder effective integration, including insufficient resources, limited teacher training, rigid curricula, and an emphasis on standardized testing, which reduce student engagement. To address these challenges, the study recommends strategies such as developing curriculum guides, providing professional development for teachers, and creating engaging multimedia resources. Although focused on Malaysia and Indonesia, this study offers valuable insights into current practices and areas for further research and development in integrating environmental education into English language teaching.

Abstract

Pendidikan inklusif merupakan jawaban atas kekhawatiran masyarakat global berkaitan lambatnya perkembangan pendidikan di negara-negara berkembang. Pada tahun 1990 UNESCO melalui sebuah konferensi yang diikuti negara-negara yang peduli terhadap pendidikan dan organisasi-organisasi pendidikan internasional mendeklarasikan semboyan Education for All. Gerakan ini berupaya untuk memberi kesempatan kepada seluruh lapisan masyarakat di seluruh dunia untuk mendapatkan kesempatan dan layanan pendidikan yang sama. Seiring berkembangnya pendidikan inklusif, guru-guru di sekolah reguler menghadapi berbagai tantangan, salah satunya adalah guru tidak cukup memiliki kompetensi untuk membelajarkan peserta didik berkebutuhan khusus sesuai dengan kebutuhannya. Untuk mengatasi masalah-masalah tersebut, Pemerintah menghadirkan program pelatihan guru secara moda daring terbimbing melalui Learning Management System (LMS) dalam bentuk kegiatan Bimbingan Teknis (Bimtek) Program Pemenuhan Guru Pembimbing Khusus yang merupakan salah satu program Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset dan Teknologi melalui Direktorat Pembinaan Guru dan Tenaga Kependidikan Pendidikan Menengah dan Pendidikan Khusus yang bertujuan untuk memenuhi sebagian dari kebutuhan guru pembimbing khusus sekaligus meningkatkan kompetensi guru di sekolah penyelenggara pendidikan inklusif dan guru sekolah reguler yang melayani pendidikan bagi peserta didik yang beragam.

Abstract

This qualitative study explored the proper and feasible Halal Tourism (HT) model regarding the implementation of Sharia law in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Observation, questionnaire, and interview were conducted at three important tourist cities in Aceh: Banda Aceh, Sabang, and Takengon. Three hundred twenty-five respondents participated in this research, and convenience sampling was used to select them. The results were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s qualitative analysis method and the SWOT analysis to construct the expected model. The result indicated that the HT model must be arranged under the following six principles: ease, reliability, safety, trust, openness, and continual improvement. Those principles can be implemented in every aspect of tourism: policies and regulations, facilities, hotels, other accommodations, transportation, and human resources. Also, progress in the HT management must focus on implementing Sharia in the plenary (kaffah) and improving the locals’ prosperity. Besides, the HT model consists of planning, decision-making, providing support, socializing, implementing, and supervising, considering its principles toward tourism and local cultures and values. The implementation of the model is expected to ensure the communities' life and integrate their inextricable foundation, Sharia while stimulating their socio-economic through the possibility of investment and employment in the future.

Abstract

This study examines the internal perceptions of students and teachers regarding the limited institutional appeal of a public high school in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Using a qualitative Grounded Theory approach, interviews with four students and two teachers revealed six major themes, including perceptions of academic quality, facility usage, teacher-student relationships, staff collaboration, external challenges, and proposed improvements. Findings highlight that despite adequate infrastructure, low student engagement, weak staff cohesion, limited competitiveness, and insufficient public promotion hinder the school’s attractiveness. Practical implications emphasize the need for integrated strategies combining academic improvement, community engagement, and institutional marketing. This research contributes to broader discussions on school improvement in post-disaster and decentralized education systems.

Abstract

Children with disabilities indeed are encouraged to have equal status in education with the normal ones. However, some domains may face particular challenges. Our article explores the insights of current inclusive education in eastern Aceh – Kabupaten Aceh Timur, Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang, and Kota Langsa – by discovering the views of 104 participants (students, teachers, principals, and officials of educational departments) on inclusive education. By applying a qualitative approach, we integrated a descriptive method through the distribution of questionnaires and interviews. Further, we analyzed the data in data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing stages. All students – both regular and disabled - had no problems sharing the same classroom, including the teachers and other school facilities, although some disabled thought that their school should have specific needs for them. Meanwhile, the officials had no strong power to support the development of inclusive education, while several schools may model inclusivity based on their school policy. Maximizing existing special education teachers, socializing the disabled’ needs to earn the rights for education within communities, and establishing special education centers at the university level, may contribute to the lack of inclusive education development in those regions.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of AI Writing Tools (AIWT) and Blended Learning (BL) on the writing skills of students in rural educational settings and explores the adaptations required by teachers to effectively integrate these technologies. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research assesses how AIWT and BL enhance English writing proficiency among high school students and identifies the infrastructural and pedagogical challenges faced by English teachers. The findings reveal that AIWT and BL significantly improve student engagement and writing quality by providing personalized feedback and fostering more interactive learning environments. The students showed marked improvements in grammar, vocabulary, and overall coherence in their writing. However, the research also highlights challenges such as variable technological proficiency among teachers and infrastructural limitations in rural schools. The study emphasizes the necessity for targeted professional development and infrastructure enhancements to fully leverage the benefits of AIWT and BL in rural educational settings. It suggests that effective integration of technology requires not only technological tools but also comprehensive support systems to assist teachers in overcoming adaptation challenges. These findings offer critical insights for policymakers and educational leaders to develop strategies that support the sustainable implementation of educational technologies, thereby optimizing learning outcomes in underserved regions.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of utilizing local tourist sites as a contextual medium to enhance English language learning through student-created promotional videos produced in a vlogger style. Conducted with 34 senior high school students from MAN 1 Aceh Tengah, Indonesia, this research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from pre- and post-test English proficiency scores and qualitative insights from student and teacher interviews. The quantitative data analysis involved paired sample t-tests, revealing a significant improvement in students' English proficiency, with post-test scores showing an average increase of 11.5 points compared to pre-test scores (p < 0.001). The qualitative thematic analysis highlighted several critical outcomes: students experienced greater motivation, enjoyment, and increased self-confidence in using English due to authentic interactions during visits to tourist sites. Additionally, the project fostered essential 21st-century skills such as collaboration, creativity, and digital literacy, enhancing overall student engagement and language acquisition. Teachers also expressed positive perceptions, noting the method's effectiveness in connecting theoretical learning to real-world contexts. The findings indicate that using local contexts and student-led digital projects can bridge classroom learning and real-world language use, offering practical insights for educators seeking innovative ways to enhance English proficiency in Indonesian-like settings.

Abstract

As the need for equality in education is fundamental, this study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on English Teaching in Inclusive Education (ETIE) indexed in Scopus from 1997 to 2023. The aim is to systematically examine the scope and trends within ETIE literature, identifying gaps and opportunities for future research. Utilizing a methodical approach for 201 Scopus-indexed publications, the study progresses through four distinct phases: initial database search using Publish or Perish, rigorous filtering of publications based on predefined bibliometric criteria, verification of data accuracy with Mendeley Desktop, and detailed analysis employing VOSviewer. The findings reveal a concerning decline in ETIE publications over time, suggesting a waning academic interest in this crucial area of study. Despite the decrease in publications, the analysis highlights several key areas that remain underexplored and could significantly benefit from further scholarly attention. The study underscores the importance of increased research collaboration and the adoption of more inclusive education practices in English teaching. Implications of this research are far-reaching, offering critical insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers. By providing a clearer understanding of the current landscape of ETIE research, the study paves the way for enhancing educational practices and supports the development of more inclusive educational environments. This will, in turn, contribute to the broader goal of ensuring equitable education access for all students, particularly those within diverse learning contexts.

Abstract

Ecolinguistics explores the interplay between language and the ecological environment, encompassing humans, animals, and nature. Recent research trends have increasingly focused on critical discourse analysis (CDA), potentially overshadowing foundational ecolinguistic principles. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed ecolinguistics publications from 2011 to 2022. The methodology involved collecting relevant publications, sorting and correcting metadata, and performing a bibliometric analysis using tools like VOSviewer and Mendeley Desktop. The analysis addressed publishing trends, citation patterns, author collaborations, keyword trends, abstract content, contributing nations, and key topics within ecolinguistics and CDA. Findings reveal (1) erratic growth in ecolinguistics publications, (2) fluctuating citation counts, (3) infrequent collaboration among authors, (4) a strong association of specific keywords, (5) significant connections in abstract content, (6) the United Kingdom and the United States as leading contributors, and (7) identification of 17 specific topics within ecolinguistics. The study highlights a lack of sustained interest in ecolinguistics, with a disproportionate focus on CDA, suggesting the need for a more balanced approach that incorporates comprehensive ecological issues. Enhanced data and perspectives from ecolinguistics should inform and expand discourse function theories.
